Life and career

Golitsyn was born in Moscow, to a family of graphic artist Vladimir Golitsyn and Elena Petrovna, née Countess Sheremeteva, thus coming from an old princely family of Golitsyn and the noble counts and princely family of Sheremetev.[1]

He started to study art with his father Vladimir Golitsyn, and following the advice of Pavel Korin.

In 1946–1953, Golitsyn studied at the Stroganov Moscow State Academy of Arts and Industry, in the department of artistic woodworking. In 1957, he studied etching techniques at the Ignatius Nivinsky studio under E. S. Teis.

In 1958, Golitsyn won a silver medal at the World Festival in Vienna for the engraving "On the Balcony", a work from the series "Everyday Life in the Suburbs" (1955–1957).

In March 1963, at a meeting with the Soviet art intelligentsia in Kremlin, Nikita Khrushchev publicly attacked poet Andrei Voznesensky and writer Vasily Aksenov, as well as Illarion Golitsyn, who supported Voznesensky. .[3]

Until the 1970s, he worked mainly in the graphic genre, then painted a lot in oil and watercolor.
